short and the nights get long, will
you kindly ask them to report the
brand to your auditor and instruct
him to allow my family what be
thinks would be right? | hate to
write to you in this detected manner,
but you cannot understand how
heavy my heart is to-day as I pen
these lines.
/ wish you and your beautiful road
unmitigated success. 1t is a good
road, for have passed over it and en-
| ioyed it. How different the country
will look to me as Igo bounding from
tie to tie, slowly repeating to myself
the trite remark once made by the
Governor of North Carolina to the
Executive of South Carolina!
I hope you may never know what
it is to pull into the quaint little city
of Junta with the dust of many a
mile upon you and the thirst of long
uneventful journey in your throat /
hope that Congress will not pass a
law next year which will make it q
felony for a railroad man to say gosh
without permit. I hope that your
life will be chuck full of hurrah and
hallelujah, even if mine should be al
ways bleak and ioyless.

of service to you over your right OF

fair, young features of your pass be-
fore finally sealing this letter. How
sad to see an annual pass cut down
in life's young morning, ere one fourth
of its race has been rum How touch
full to part from it forever
What sad year this has boen so
far ! Earthquakes, fires, storms, rail
way disasters and death in every form
have visited our country, and now,
like the biting blasts from Siberia, Oh
the nipping frosts from Manitoba,
comes the Congressional cut-worm,
cutting off the early crop of flower
ing ANIMALS just as they had budded
to bloom into beauty and usefulness!
I will now close this sad letter to
go over into the vacant lot, behind
the high board fence, where I can sob
in an unfettered way without shaking
the glass out of my easement.

tears ON hand, BILL NYE.

A New official Test.

When Cleveland took hold of the
ship in Washington he appointed Bill
Hyde postmaster at st. Louis. About
the first act of the new official was to
fnd out the politics of his subordi-
mates, and this done he began sitting
Republicans from Democrats without
any regard for the civil service law.
Among the employees who lost their
heads was q good Republican who
had been in the office ever since the
assassination of President Lincoln.
This man called on Hyde the day
after his dismissal and said:
"Mr. Hyde, I received a note from
you yesterday in which you say that
my services are no longer required in
the postofice."
That's right" replied Hyde in q
harsh voice.
'sBut want reasou-I demand
one.'
That will do you no good"
"Mr. Hyde" said the republican,
lifting his voice to ahigh key, l insist
that be given reason for my dis
missal"
"Well," replied Hyde, IF you must
have reason, I'll give you one. The
truth of the matter is, I don't like
the color of your eye brows." CHI

Some Extravagant Clothing Recently Made
for New York Society Ladies.
A tour of the most fashionable dress
making shops up town shows that more
money is being spent on women's
clothes than ever before in this town.
In one salon, as the principal man
dressmaker calls his reception parlor, /
saw an opera cloak of red plush lined
with red SATIN and made without u
hood for wear in a carriage in the even
ing for trips to and from parties, the
opera and theaters. Its price was not
extraordinary. it was $3.50, but the
dressmaker told me it was the third he
had made this winter for one customer.
First he made her white one of knit
worsted lined with white satin and
quilted. That also cost $3.50. Next he
made her one of embossed velvet, gor-
geously lined, for 1926, so that this
particular dame will be able to feel
comfortable and well dressed in her
coupe this winter, though not dozen
persons except her husband and coach
man Will see here there.
But the most money is being put out
in furs. Russian sable is the object of
fashionable favor, because it is the
most expensive of all furs and can not
be made common. The common sable
costs $50 skin, but real frst-class Rus
sian costs $3.50 to 5000 skin, each one
being considerably smaller than that of
the average cat. Sable sacques are
made up for as little ASST, 200 or$1, 800,
but the principal furrier in town re-
ports that he has made UP two this win
ter at $4, 900 each-one for a Mrs Nor
gan and one for a lady in Cyrus W.
Fields household.-W. Y. Letter.

THE BEST BEVERAGE.
An Enthusiasts Opinion of the Merits of
UnaduIterated Coffee.

An Enthusiasts Opinion of the Merits of
UnaduIterated Coffee.
With our tea a comparative failure,
our coffee is. of course, almost past
praying for Our very pretenslons 60 no
further than tea. We lose a good deal
by the .meanness of our ambition.
Good coffee is the finest drink in the
world, and it would surely defeat half
the intoXicants on their own ground.
1t is the most generous of stimulants,
and it induces activity and alertness of
brain without the faintest trace of ele-
vation. Should any further recon-
mendation be wanted, we may add
that, like pure water, it will kill, if you
take enough of it, or, rather, too much.
Murger died of excessive coffee-not
unfavored with cognac-but far more
people have to thank it for the prolon-
CATION of their lives. It is far beyond
tea as a dietetic, though perhaps no
body but Merlatti could wisely venture
to make it his sole support. Indeed,
high authorities say that it should new
er be taken without something solid,
as an accompaniment. Any thing will
do, piece of bread, or, failing that, even
waistcoat button, according to the
Oriental proverb quoted in an admirable
lecture on the subject at the Parkes
Museum. 1t improves with age like
the other generous drinks, though not
of course when it is in the state of in
fusion. The green berry may be kept
for fifteen or twenty years, and it will
gain in flavor every day. Brown Java,
which leaves Mocha far in the shade, is
supposed to owe good deal to its long
soiourn on the island before exporta-
ton. 1t lies in store sometimes for
seven years. The roasting should al
', ways be deferred to the very last mo-
ment. Roast, and brew at once, is the
golden rule. First get your Brown
Java-for that matter, one of half a
dozen other kinds will do. Then make
a smokeless fire, OF coal, or spirit, or
gas; toss your green berries into an
earthenware pipkin; if you have
nothing better at hand, and there need
be nothing better; hold it over the
flame for fifteen or twenty minutes, to
dry it merely, not to burn it, stirring it
all the time, and your task is done.
Grind or pound in mortar pound
ing, they say, is better, The Turks
find that the pestles improve with use,
as the coffee improves with age, and
they sell the old ones at a high figure.
Two ounces of coffee to the pint of
water is the happy mean, and those
who want it weaker had better weaken
it after the brew. A common jug and
strainer are all you need for the final
rite, but people who ike to part with
their money often insist on more

Popu!arizing Science.

For while science has made its begin
ming in observation, it has really con-
structed system out of the heap of OBJ
seryations only by rationalizing. Ii,
however, it be objected, from the scien-
tifc standpoint, that the transcendental
philosophy is too intricate, remote and
in many of its aspects abstract, to be
attractive to the scientific mind, there
is but one answer: Things can not be
made simpler than they are. 1t is a
much easier thing to know, than to
construct theory of knowing. Here
no attempt can be successful which will
not face things remote from ordinary
experience; the intricacy is lying within
the ordinary, wrapped up in the mar
wells of orr own intellectual procedure.
Granting the loss Of popularity which
this involves, the rational school must
accept the inevitable, as science itself
does in order that it may be truly scien-
tifc. For science proclaifDs the impos-
sibility of popularizing itself.-Neao
